26 year old Egyptian woman tells me, "We are a strong people. For a long time Muabrak fooled us into believing we were weak."

Following President Mubarak’s resignation the army dissolved the Egyptian parliament, suspended the constitution and said elections will take place in six months’ time. The army is trying to clear Tahrir of protesters, but many wish to stay. A standoff has ensued and the military appear unsure of what action to take.

Bloggers are working to find out more about the alleged fortune owned by the Mubarak family and by other key figures in the toppled regime.

MasrLeaks is founded by Mahmoud Salem and Seif Lotfy as an attempt to harness the power of the netzines to track down the properties and wealth of the Mubarak family, and other prominent regime figures. It also aims to create a directory for all corruption in Egypt, in order to facilitate and instill transparency in the Egyptian political culture. For the sake of fairness, MasrLeaks demands that any information submitted to it to be well sourced, and documented.

Some factions of workers in Egypt are on strike as the fallout from Mubarak’s departure continues. There is a live stream here of striking Egyptian oil workers after Sunday saw some members of the police out on the streets.

Soon after former president Mubarak left and the celebrations were over, Egyptian people poured once more in the central square in Tahrir – but this time to clean up the mess. Displaying an eagerness to return to normality, people swept the streets and, as shown by the picture below, even attempted to fix the pavements after using stones to protect themselves.

The announcement as seen on state television and as translated by BBC :In the name of God the merciful, the compassionate, citizens, during these very difficult circumstances Egypt is going through, President Hosni Mubarak has decided to step down from the office of president of the republic and has charged the high council of the armed forces to administer the affairs of the country. May God help everybody.

In a significant departure from the normal routine of protests, some demonstrators left Tahrir Square to march on key government buildings, including the heavily guarded Presidential palace. So far, the expanded protest has been peaceful.

Mohamed ElBaradei has sounded particularly anxious in his tweets on Thursday night. His previous tweet in Arabic, translated using Google Translate, said “I demand an immediate military intervention to save Egypt. The credibility of the army to the test”.

Thursday afternoon saw many hopeful tweets from protesters – those who had been campaigning for reform for years, as well as protesting for months and days. As it neared midnight local time, the lack of resolution caused some overseas reporters to fear for what happened next.

Mohamed ElBaradei, whose whereabouts had been questioned by some during the day, tweeted at 10pm Egyptian time, around when a speech from President Mubarak was expected. Mohamed ElBaradei is the choice of many to lead a different government.

President Obama reiterated the need for an orderly transition in remarks on Thursday evening. Earlier in the day, the Press Secretary addressed questions informally:

MR. GIBBS: You know, I am watching much of what you’re watching. I don’t — again, we’re watching, I think, a very fluid situation. What we’re looking for and what the President spoke about many days ago remains our priority: an orderly transition to a free and fair elections. And what we’re looking for remains unchanged.
Q But Leon Panetta apparently has said that it is likely that Mubarak will step down today. Is that something that you can confirm?
MR. GIBBS: We’re watching a very fluid situation.
Q Did he have the authorization to say that today in Congress?
MR. GIBBS: I am watching a very fluid situation. Let me — I don’t know what question elicited what testimony, so I want to — without having seen that, I think that would be tough for me to comment on.

There were reports of a text message being sent to people in Egypt from the army. @Zeinobia posted a picture and @etharkamal said there was a text saying: The Armed forces is dedicated to your safety and security, and will not resort to using force against this great nation.

There were continuing rumours about President Mubarak’s future on Thursday evening. Several reports said that the road to the airport had been closed, but there was no clear indication that the president was moving.
